Kleinhöflein: Parish Church, Viticulture and St. Mark’s Procession

For a trip to Kleinhöflein, the parish church, St. Mark’s Procession and viticulture can offer different points of interest. If you are looking for a hotel in Kleinhöflein, first consider which of these connections will shape your stay: historic church architecture, a recurring religious tradition or wine production. This distinction can help you define the purpose of your trip before comparing accommodation options.

Church, Procession and Monuments

The parish church in Kleinhöflein was built in 1777 and is dedicated to St. Joseph. The year of construction and the dedication provide two different points of reference: 1777 marks the construction, while St. Joseph is the religious dedication. This makes it possible to understand the church both in terms of its historical period and its patron saint. Those interested in local history will find a link here between a date and religious identity.

The traditional St. Mark’s Procession takes place in Kleinhöflein every year. It adds a different dimension to the church’s year of construction: while 1777 marks a single historical date, the procession recurs annually as a religious tradition. If you are interested in attending, check before your trip whether a date falls during your stay. This allows you to plan around a specific local custom.

The monument entry dated 23 June 2026 lists a wayside shrine in Kleinhöflein as protected by ordinance. The statue of St. John of Nepomuk at Sommerseite 6 is also protected by ordinance. The location details differ: a specific address is given for the statue, while the wayside shrine is associated with Kleinhöflein. These religious cultural landmarks therefore extend beyond the parish church.

Viticulture in Kleinhöflein

The Georg Toifl KG winery in Kleinhöflein near Retz has been farmed since 2010. The winery’s vineyards are cultivated according to organic standards. The vineyards of the Graf family’s organic farm are located in Kleinhöflein, Unterretzbach and Retz. The locations indicate two different scales: Toifl is specifically associated with Kleinhöflein near Retz, while the Graf family’s vineyards extend across three named places.

This distinction is useful for understanding viticulture: you can consider the connection to Kleinhöflein through a winery located there, or through the Graf family’s vineyards, which are also in Unterretzbach and Retz. Together with the religious themes, this offers a local perspective that takes in both individual buildings and traditions and the vineyards under cultivation. The date since 2010 and the named vineyard locations are different indicators of the respective businesses.
